Officials say the attacker rammed his car into a vehicle carrying the security forces and blew himself up as he approached the checkpoint of a police and paramilitary force on the border of Peshawar and Khyber. The attack comes as Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and US President Barack Obama prepare to meet later this week in Washington.
